Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Chapter 185: The Secret and the Plot

The secret plot is shocking

Gu Ling's elusive figure led the way ahead, and the deep passage of the ruins was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

The flickering runes on the wall looked like a pair of prying eyes, making me feel creepy.

Hao Yang held my hand tightly, and the warmth of his palm gave me a little comfort.

I tried to keep calm. After all, I am a woman with a system, and this little scene can't scare me.

The deeper you go, the stronger the ominous feeling becomes.

There was a strange smell in the air, like the smell of rotten wood mixed with some metallic smell.

I couldn't help but hold my breath and followed Gu Ling closely.

"Be careful!" Elder Lin suddenly warned.

I subconsciously dodged as a huge rock whizzed past my head and hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"These damn traps!" Elder Lin cursed in a low voice, and the staff in his hand flashed, as if detecting the traps around him.

I looked around and the runes on the wall flashed more frequently, as if mocking our ignorance.

and many more!

I suddenly noticed that on the left wall, there was a rune that glowed slightly differently from the others.

It flashes faster and has a darker color.

"Gu Ling, look there!" I said, pointing at the rune.

Gu Ling floated to my side, carefully observed the rune, and his expression changed slightly.

"This is...the entrance to the hidden chamber!"

Hidden chamber? My heartbeat quickened. Could the secret of the ruins be hidden there?

Under Gu Ling's guidance, we found the mechanism to open the secret room.

With a rumbling sound, the wall slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black hole.

There was only a dim oil lamp in the secret room, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.

In the center of the secret room, there is an ancient book.

I carefully picked up the book and opened the first page.

I actually recognize the words above!

This is an ancient script that I have seen in my family's library.

I quickly browsed the contents of the book, and my expression became more and more solemn.

This tome records the secrets of the ruins and how to control their power!

It turns out that this relic hides a power that can control the entire space. Whoever can control this power can become the master of this space!

I closed the book and took a deep breath.

"This..." I looked at Hao Yang and Elder Lin, and was about to explain, but suddenly I felt a cold breath.

I turned around suddenly and saw...

Wei Qing!

She stood there with a sinister smile on her face and a dagger flashing with cold light in her hand.

I understood instantly that she had been following us!

"Wei Yao, you didn't expect me to be here, did you?" Wei Qing's voice was sharp and piercing, full of pride and malice. "I knew you would come here, so I waited for you here on purpose."

I clenched the book in my hand and forced myself to remain calm. "Wei Qing, what do you want to do?"

"What?" Wei Qing sneered, "Of course, to kill you and take away the power of the ruins!"

Before she could finish her words, a group of hideous creatures suddenly emerged from the darkness behind her, emitting a disgusting stench.

Their eyes flashed with a dark green light and stared at us greedily, as if we were some kind of delicious food.

"Hao Yang, be careful!" I pulled Hao Yang behind me and stuffed the book into his arms. "Protect it!"

Hao Yang nodded, drew the long sword from his waist and stood in front of me.

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, I will protect you!"

Elder Lin also raised his staff and muttered something. A golden light flashed, enveloping us and forming a protective barrier.

"You think you can stop me?" Wei Qing snorted disdainfully, waving the dagger in her hand and commanding the dark creatures to pounce on us.

The battle is about to break out.

Hao Yang's swordsmanship was sharp, and every move hit the vital points. Although there were many dark creatures, he repelled them one by one.

Elder Lin's magic was also very powerful. With a flash of golden light, he blew away the approaching dark creatures.

Although I don't have as much power as them, I won't sit idly by and wait for death.

I mobilized the spiritual power in my body, condensed it into ice cones, and shot them at those dark creatures.

However, these dark creatures seemed endless, surging in wave after wave, and we gradually felt powerless.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of the core of the ruins recorded in the classics.

If I can control the core of the ruins, I can control the power of the entire ruins!

I looked at Hao Yang with a determined look. "Hao Yang, cover me!"

After saying that, I rushed towards the core of the ruins.

"Wei Yao, don't even think about it!" Seeing this, Wei Qing immediately wanted to stop me, but was stopped by Hao Yang and Elder Lin.

I tried my best and finally reached the core of the ruins.

I placed my hands on my core, closed my eyes, and felt the overwhelming power.

"In my name, take control!" I growled and injected my power into the core.

The core of the ruins emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful force surged into my body.

I felt like I had become a god and could control everything!

I opened my eyes and a gleam of light flashed in them.

"Now, it's my turn!"

I raised my hands, and a powerful energy wave emanated from me, instantly blowing away all the dark creatures around me.

Wei Qing's face changed drastically, and her eyes were filled with fear.

She turned around and tried to run away, but how could I let her do that?

I stretched out my finger and a golden light shot out, hitting Wei Qing's back.

Wei Qing screamed and fell to the ground, her life or death unknown.

I walked over to Hao Yang and Elder Lin, and seeing how tired they looked, my heart was filled with gratitude.

"We won." I said with a smile.

However, at this moment, I suddenly felt an even more powerful force coming from the depths of the ruins.

what is that?

I looked deep into the ruins, and a sense of unease suddenly welled up in my heart...

"Hao Yang..." I grabbed his hand, my voice trembling, "I feel... something is wrong..."
